FIRE PROTECTION 
Preparing a Fire Escape Plan 
Even with the most advanced fire 
alarm system, adequate protection 
requires an escape plan. 
To prepare your plan, draw floor 
plans of your building.  Show two 
exits - a front or back door and a 
window from each room.  (Make sure 
the window works.  You may need a 
special fire-escape ladder if the 
window is high up).  Write down your 
outside meeting place. 
 
Family Rehearsal 
Rehearse each of the following 
activities: 
1.   Everyone in his room with the 
doors closed. 
2.    One person sounds the alarm. 3.    Each person tests his door. 
4.   Pretend the door is hot and use 
the alternate escape exit. 
5.   Everyone meets outdoors at 
the assigned location. 
 
Important! - Read Carefully 
Discuss these escape procedures 
with all those who use the building: 
1.   In a residence, sleep with the 
bedroom door closed.  A closed 
door will hold back deadly smoke 
while you escape. 
2.   When the fire alarm signals, 
escape quickly.  Do not stop to 
pack. 
3.    Test the door.  If it is hot, use your 
alternate route through the 
window.  If the door is cool, brace your shoulder against it and open 
it cautiously.  Be ready to slam the 
door if smoke or heat rushes in.  
Crawl through smoke, holding your 
breath.  Close the doors again on 
leaving to help prevent the fire 
from spreading. 
4.   Go to your specific outdoor 
meeting place so you can see that 
everyone is safe. 
5.   Assign someone to make sure 
nobody returns to the burning 
building. 
6.   Call the Fire Department from a 
neighbors telephone.

Your ADT Safewatch EZ System is constantly monitoring its own components, as well as all critical services, such as AC power and 
the telephone line, to insure that it is always ready to provide the protection for which it was designed.  When a system trouble occurs, the 
EZ Touchpad will caution you with a Trouble 
TBL light and a beeping sounder.  
If you cannot immediately fix the trouble, the system can still be used.  Simply press SILENCE to view the trouble as described below 
and press SILENCE again to exit the VIEW TROUBLE mode.  The system can now be armed.  To view the trouble, press 
SILENCE, count the number of Trouble 
TBL and 
READY flashes and refer to the following table.  If there 
is more than one trouble to view, press 
SILENCE again to scroll to the next trouble, and again to exit the VIEW TROUBLE mode.  The 
Trouble TBL light will remain pulsing as a reminder if the trouble is still present.  NOTE:  If EZ Touchpad siren chirps once every 10 sec-
onds, call for service.

The EZ-IFOB is a uniquely coded digital key which performs the following functions when inserted into the EZ-IFOB slot on the 
EZ Touchpad:  
•Disarm an armed system  •Silence an active alarm •Reset a fire alarm 
 
The Master EZ-IFOB supplied with your system will perform all of these functions, plus it may also be used to add up to 5 addi-
tional EZ-IFOBs to the system.  The following instructions will guide you through adding additional EZ-IFOBs as well as remov-
ing EZ-IFOBs in the event that one is lost.  Adding additional IFOBs to your system:  
 
1. With the system disarmed, insert the Master EZ-IFOB into the EZ-IFOB slot on the EZ Touchpad. 
2. Wait for beep and then remove the Master EZ-IFOB. 
3. Within 8 seconds insert the new EZ-IFOB into the EZ-IFOB slot on the EZ Touchpad. 
4. Wait for 5 beeps and remove the new EZ-IFOB. 
5. Test the new EZ-IFOB by arming the system in the STAY mode and using the EZ-IFOB to disarm 
the system.  Repeat the above steps for each EZ-IFOB to be enrolled. 
Removing IFOBs from the system:  
 
In the event that an EZ-IFOB is lost, the following procedure must be used to remove all of the EZ-IFOBs 
except the Master:  On a disarmed system: 
1. Insert the Master EZ-IFOB, until beep. 
2. Hold Down the SILENCE button for 4 seconds, until beep.  Re-Enroll the EZ-IFOBs using the procedure above. 
 
In the event that the Master EZ-IFOB is lost, contact the alarm company to arrange a replacement.
